    They tried that years ago on one of the trains I was on. So all the 2nd class passengers just stood between the first class carriages.

    Then they tried to stop the 2nd class passengers standing between the carriages as the train was crowded......

    Crux of the matter is if it's the weekend drive or make sure you are drunk if you need to use public transport.

    Yes, slaughter them all..

    WHS

    Although I have to be honest, if caught in 1st class on the Cardiff-Paddington route the oiks are turfed out or made to pay through the nose for an upgrade.
    I do wish they'd stop them walking through 1st class as well though. It's quite unseemly at times, and they sometimes steal the free (to 1st class passengers) copy of The Times off the tables as they walk through.
